Ideas

One vest

This is essentially the backbone of the whole idea. The vest would contain multiple targets and a central microcontroller/computer capable of decoding the output of these targets along with a wireless solution for relaying data back to a central server. Software updates to the vest would allow for an increased set of decodes when needed.

ToDo

how are the targets constructed?

what are we using for wireless?

UID?

tracking player in an arena

tagging data being relayed back to the central server

how to control the gun's functions from the vest?

disabling the gun when shot

muzzle relay?

interfaces wirelessly with the vest

intercepts signals from the gun and relays out it's own emitter

relaying would be remotely shut off from the vest denoting your "death"

indicator light in the muzzle relay would indicate you're dead

managing ammo?

muzzle relay?

interfaces wirelessly with the vest

intercepts signals from the gun and relays out it's own emitter

relaying would be disabled when out of ammo amount set in the vest

indicator light in the muzzle relay would indicate you're out of ammo

Decode station

A station where new data can be collected about laser tag sets so the vests can be updated before the game. Basically a field ready decoder similar to the one used to build the initial database of decodes.
